Executive PA (Private Equity)

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at a private equity office in George. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is George-based, with most of your time spent at a private equity office.

• Draft letters, reports and presentations in the house style.
• Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
• Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
• Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
• Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
• Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.

• Available for the odd early start or late finish
• Discreet with board, salary and legal information
• Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma
• Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook
• At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
• Calm when plans change at the last minute

• 13th cheque and performance bonus
• Medical aid and provident fund
• Parking in a secure basement

• Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
• Expect practical tests on Word formatting, Excel and minute-taking, so brush up on styles and tables first.
